Transcribed Image Text:Table 1: Relationship between equilibrium constant and
standard free-energy change of chemical reactions
(Lehninger 6" ed.)
In the pathway for glucose degradation to pyruvate (the glycolytic pathway), glucose 6-phosphate is
isomerized to fructose 6-phosphate in a reaction catalyzed by phosphoglucose isomerase:
glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) fructose 6-phosphate (F-6-P)
AGO" = +1.7 kJ/mol

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose that in a cell, the actual concentration of glucose-6-phosphate is 3.9 x 10- M, and the
actual concentration of fructose-6-phosphate is 1.5 x 10- M.
1) Do you EXPECT that with this starting mass action ratio the reaction will go forward (as
written, G-6-P → F-6-P), or in reverse (F-6-P G-6-P), and WHY?
2) Now calculate the actual free energy change (AG') for this reaction (in the forward direction) at
298K. (Show work and state units.)
